Karma News: Karma Revero Is A Reborn Fisker Karma
Drew Dowdell replied to William Maley's topic in Karma
This car's layout works best with a gas range extender. Full EVs generally need to be purpose built to be efficient in packaging.- 14 replies

Karma News: Karma Revero Is A Reborn Fisker Karma
Drew Dowdell replied to William Maley's topic in Karma
These are such beautiful cars from the outside, but the interior leaves a lot to be desired, especially for that price. I have driven one of the original Fisker Karmas, and it was a neat thing to drive. What they really need to do is get the Atlantic going.- 14 replies

MAJOR SOFTWARE UPDATE COMING THIS WEEK!
Drew Dowdell replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Site News and Feedback
So, because of the suggestions above, I started doing a major forum reorganization. It's going to take me at least a few days to get everything into the right place as it is a very manual process. Thanks for your patience. -

Paired with an engine that actually has torque, it's not bad at all after they reflashed it. Behind the 2.4, the 9speed hunts for torque it will never find.- 83 replies

Nissan News: Nissan Gives 2017 Rogue A New Face, Hybrid

Yeah, that. And you misspelled "dumpster". -
It's the way of the future I guess, but even the nicest of OLED screens can't compete with an actual physical set of gauges that is well done. It just won't have the depth. 2d v. 3d

Nissan News: Nissan Gives 2017 Rogue A New Face, Hybrid
Drew Dowdell replied to William Maley's topic in Nissan
Nissan's issues are further forward than the transmission.... that awful 2.4 liter 4-cylinder they have is very low on refinement. Really... give me an old Ecotech 2.4 that never had an oil change and it would be about the same as a new Nissan 2.4. The CVT is fine in the VQ powered vehicles... I actually really like it. But paired with the 2.4, it brings out the worst of that engine. The primary redeeming quality of the hybrid is that it would lower the workload of the 4-cylinder, making it more tolerable to drive.
